    BehemothBurrito [Chicken w/ GardenSalad+BalsamicVinagrette]
    Sammy Y.

    Service: 10/10! Professional, Friendly & Quick to Cater Venue: 5/5 Great ambiance for casual eats to summer dates. Price: 5/5 Awesome price for the amount of food you get. The BehemothBurrito is definitely a coma-inducing platter. Food: 10/10!!!! BehemothBurrito was SO GOOD! Portion was perfect & was jam-packed with flavor from the beans, cheese & chicken; even the balsamic vinegar was pleasantly tangy & rich that made the garden salad enjoyable. Good bang for your buck; you also get a sticker if you conquer the Behemoth.

    Real jalapeño poppers! Delish

    We were in Campbell River over Christmas and decided to try SoCal. They took a reservation on a busy Friday night over Facebook messenger, which in itself was impressive. The service was excellent. I had the enchiladas and loved the sauce. Just enough kick. My boyfriend loved the surf and turf and his steak was cooked perfectly. At the end of the meal, our waiter said "would you like to see a desert menu or just relax for a bit?" I LOVED that he didn't try to give us the bill as we still had wine to get through. We did have desert and hung out for a bit. Totally going back the next time we are in town

    Appies from the happy hour specials. Chicken tostados, jalapeno poppers, Queso Fundito and the garlic clams and mussels.

    I really wanted to like this place. The food is terrible and the price is even worse. Do yourself a favor and cook at home .

    If I could give this place 0 stars I would. Awful food and service. I have given this place multiple chances and it gets worse every time.

    Fish tacos were bland. Rice was over cooked and again little flavour. Tortillas dry. Margarita was decent.

    OK food, mediocre drinks…read more We had the birria quesadilla and the al pastor burrito. The meats were cooked fine and the flavour was good but not memorable or outstanding. The burrito was mostly rice. For drinks we had the ginger lime margarita, which could have used just a touch more sugar - I usually prefer a less sweet drink, but this was quite sour; and the mango jalapeño margarita which was basically a mango flavoured slushy, which was came as a surprise because I had asked for it not to be blended. Ambiance is casual with fun decor. Service was friendly. All in all an okay place but probably will try another place instead next time!

    As the other reviewer stated, you do not get free chips and salsa here. And yes, I understand that…read moreyou get that at some other places... but not here. And that's okay. I went to two Mexican restaurants in Powell River and neither of them had this. No big deal.... I didn't go there looking for free snacks and I was MORE than happy with the food we got. Two of us went for lunch and got an order of chicken tacos (with no cilantro), and chorizo chimichanga. We were planning on getting some various margaritas, until we found out that their feature flavour was blackberry! So we got two of those instead. The drinks were really good! I wish they had a salt rim instead of sugar - but it was still great. The food was super good - very flavourable. Service was fast and friendly and everyone seemed happy to be there. Would happily go back!
